If you’re into runners, tonight’s release Outland Games might be up your alley. It’s a 2D, side-scrolling runner set deep in the Monday Night Combat Universe. In the game, you play as a contestant on a reality TV show that tasks you with running for your life. As you run, you’ll have to do the usual: pick up coins, avoid obstacles, and kill stuff.
This one has a couple of things going for it. For one, its combo mechanic, which allows you to string together attacks and jumps, give the action a unique kind of locomotion. Also, the equipment system offers some pretty funny gear. For example, this afternoon, Eli and I used a candy cane and chef hat to defeat the endless robot hordes.
If you’d like to get a closer look before Outland launches tonight, just check out what we’ve got below. It’ll hit at 99¢ as a Universal app, by the way.
